Must Must Read...

Post by tweak101 »

Guess what I just found out. There's a web site that shows you how to uncap your Surfboard modem to pass the 1.5 Mbps barrier. It consists of 8 steps with detailed guides and pictures of course. But the bad thing is that I don't have a surfboard.

Let me try it out and I post the results for you guys. Not on my modem cuz it's an RCA, but my friend has on Surfboard.

I hope that it'll work.

n00bs! First off, read this: https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... adid=71324

And this: https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... adid=73422

And this: https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... adid=71229

And this: https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... adid=32417

And secondly, we already know it can be done, BUT you will be caught and you risk losing your cable service forever, or in this case, your friend's service.

SilverDakota, let 'em get caught. A little jail time won't hurt 'em. Maybe they will meet that special someone while in jail. :D

Yeah...no chit, glc....

Go ahead then tweak. Then let us know how it's going in about a week when you're dialing in at 56K.

Well guys... there is one thing we should remember with respect to those who want to take bandwidth without paying for it...

And for those of you planning ahead... here is the "PRISON Personals” where you can start up a friendship with someone you might be sharing a cell (or shower) with (Sorry. I dropped my soap. Would you get that for me please?). Lots of good looking people… all wanting an Internet relationship with you... until you check in.

BTW... real good broadband connections.

Here is a sample. Mike was convicted of computer fraud. His cell mate was convicted of stealing more "broadband" than he was paying for.

Damn, after tweaking got 6 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up. Take that. I chatted with others in the IRC channel, they even got higher speed than I am, they are getting 15 Mbps down and 4 Mpbs up. Now that's what I'm talking about broadband.

Peace out \/

Mr. Joe Mayfield (#274062) wants you to be in a cell with him when you get caught.

I would call and complain about those speeds. I mean hell, there are others getting faster than you! That's just not right! After all, you are paying them money for their service. By the looks of it you are only getting 1/3 of what other people are getting. call the cops, call you're congresspeople, call the I-Team!!! You is gettin' robbed!

hmm or are you the one doing the robbing? what a pickle eh?

Sorry Tweak, but I think your full of sh*@. And everyone here is correct. It will only be a matter of time before they determine what you did. ( or what you claim you did ) I take it you dont know much about how a network actually operates? Your gonna stick out like a sore thumb, if you are actually getting those speeds.

those personals were hilarious :)
